Dear Anne Hirst: bike eo many
tine families, my husband's are
a grand group who have kept
Very Diose to each other. We have
always visited them regularly.
Lately they seem to have chang-
ed toward me, and I don't under -
attend It.
"His mother confides unpleas-
ant things about some Of' them,
and repeats little digs they've
made about me. I have no doubts
She's • discussed my faults (I've
get many) and perhaps they are
getting even , . , I made the mis-
take of telling my husband, Now
he doesn't ask me to go to see
them. I know he misses going;
Is he waiting for me to suggest
it?'
"If 1 -again saw them often, do
you suppose they might treat me
as kindly as they used to? Or
would you advise staying away?
TROUBLED WIFE"
ITIS FOLKS ARE YOURS
* When a girl marries, she mar-
* ries her husband's family
• whether she wants to or not.
* It is one of her duties to get
• along with them—as, I hope,
* you have decided to do.
* When a man is as devoted
* to his people as is your bus-
* band, his wife does not dare
* be unfriendly, in spite of all
* temptation. She has to admire
* what virtures they have, and
* minimize their faults. Now
* that this unhappy situation has
* obtained, you must do every-
* thing in your power to over-
* come it.
* Suggest to your husband
* that you two resume your at.
* customed visits. While you are
• in their home, try to forget all
* your mother-in-Iaw said. You
* do not know her sources, so it
* is best to take it for granted
* that the others still feel kindly
• toward you. In this way you
* can win them back, which is
* essential to your husband's
* peace of mind. If any further
* unfortunate comment be made.
* overlook it, and let them sense
* your good will and kindness
* You can do this. I know.
* Your letter (which I had to
* condense) reveals a sympathetic
* and understanding nature that
* will stand you in good stead.
• Take it for granted from now
* on that they still like you. and
* play up to the idea. I think
* thee cannot heip bet resp,r.d

* Since the girls your daugh-
* ter goes with use make-up, of

* and help her choose and use it
e properly:
* Select a delicate pink, shade
* et lipstick and show her how

* that blends with skin is easy to
* find, and a good hand lotion
* Sae serve as a base.
* Impress upon her the Impor-

* powder or lipstick can hide a
* neglected skin, Her hair
* should be washed regularly and
" kept shining by regular brush-
" ing. Hands and nails must show
care, too. The next thing you
* know she will be demanding
* nail polish; steer her to the na-
tural tones instead of the viol-
* ent reds that attract too many
* teen-agers.
* She will love you for this co-
* operation. As for you — your
t child is growing up, and if
* you're the first to admit it, you
* two will be bound by the
* strong cord of understanding,
One of a wile's initial responsi-
bilities is to stay friendly with
her in-Iaws, painful as it some-
times can be. Overlook their un-
pleasant traits. cultivate t h e
happy ones, and so keep your
husband, and all of them. con-
scious of your good will ,
Anne Hirst will help you to
achieve this and other attitudes
that will enrich your marriage.

Fires That Stam
lBy Themselves.
Theist are tnany fires caused by
materials that set themselves on
fire --- a process known as spon-
taneous combustion. In order
to set itself on 1it'.e, a material
must have a very low kindling
Point. In other words, it must
burn at a very low temperature.
In addition, the process of oxide -
tion combining with the oxy.
gen In the air — must already
be going on.
Oily_ rags that are left around
in closets or attics often stark
fires, The carbon and 'hydro-
gen, which are present in the
oil, are always ready to unite
with the oxygen in the air. A
certain amount of these elements
in the oil on the rags is al-
ways uniting with the air, al-
though this process goes on very
slowly and does not at first
produce any great amount of
heat. Rags, however, are not
good conductors of heat, and
therefore they become hotter
and hotter because the heat does
not pass off Into the air, Final-
ly they become so hot that the
kindling point is reached, and
they burst into flame. For this
reason, oily rags should never
be left lying around, Spon-
taneous combustion also occurs
at times in coal mines where
great piles of coal are stacked.
Farmers take great care to
see that .their hay is thoroughly
dry before they stack it. If the
hay is moist, a tiny microbe
know as Bacillus subtilis, which
grows in hay and partly dried
grass, multiplies rapidly in the
haystacks. This causes heat to
be formed which may in time
become so intense that the whole
haystack will burst into flame.
Farmers, therefore, try not to
stack the hay too tightly, and
to allow passages for the air to
pass through in order to carry off
some of the heat.
Some fires are :torted in
dried grass by bottles left on the
ground by picnic parties. • The
curved glass is believed to act
like a burning -glass. and to con-
centrate the sun's rays on the
dry grass, setting it on fire.
This is, however, not real spon-
taneous combustion. The dried
grass has not set itself on fire,
but an outside means, the burn-
ing or magnifying glass, has
acted very much as a lighted
match would, and raised the
temperature of the grecs to the
kindling point.

"Does your lordship refer to a
live sheep or a dead sheep?"
"It's the same thing," respond-

"Olt, no." insisted the earl. "A
dead sheep has only two legs.
The two forelegs are shoulders,
and there are only two legs of
mutton."

1 ant quite sure most of Abe
farmers :in almost every district
across Ontario are feeling very
cheerful today. How could they
be otherwise after the grand rain
we had last Saturday, Which, from
all accounts was not just a local
rain. Even within twenty-four
hours everykind of vegetation
seethed to grow a couple of inch-
es, It will .make a wonderful dif-
ference to the pastures — and
the gardens, and the strawber-
ries. Strawberries , . are you
not hungry for a taste of, good,
homegrown Ontario strawber-
eies? Imagine being allergic to
strawberries as some people are
. , . mustn't it be awful? . What
queer creatures we are — some
of us can't stand this or that while.
it makes no difference at all to
our neighbour across the road.
Take poison ivy for instance —
few people are immune to its
effects and yet none of our fa-
mily has ever been allergic to it.
Which is fortunate because 1
walked right through a patch of
it the other day. But just let me
meet up with a bee, a wasp or
a mosquito and It is a different
story. That is particularly an-
noying to me because I love to
tramp through the woods but if
I do. even though I smother my-
self with citronella, I certainly
pay !or my pleasure, Why in-
clination and result should be so
diametrically opposed Pll never
know.
Our little humming -bird stay-
ed with us most of last week but
now it has gone —• probably be-
cause the chestnut blossom is
withered and brown, But the
lovely little merles, the chick-
adees and wrens are with us yet,
Also a few flies --- but not too
many, so far, I keep,a fly -bomb
handy andethat discourages them
quite a bit the way I use It, No
doubt most al you have discov-
ereel that Ries no longer succumb
to the effect oe DDT. But I have
found a way of getting around
that little problem. If, for In-
stance, Ries become troublesome
in the kitchen it is a good Ides
to dose the doors and go to work
with the Ry -bomb, .rust a light
spraying — not enough to hill
the flies but sufficient to make'
them stupid, Then before' they
have recovered from the tempers
ary effects of the DDT you can
go ey-hunting with a fly swatter.
No fly ever yet built up a resis-
tance to a well -alined fly -swatter,
This. method ,.is considerably
cheaper that spraying to kill and
it also does away with the naus-
eating necessity of living in a
fly -poison atmosphere for an un-
desirable length of time. For out-
side use there is that foul-smell-
ing glass jar fly trap that really
does a job, If 'any contraption
ever lived up to its name, that
one does.
And while we are on the sub-
ject of hot weather devices have 1
you 'ever discovered the many
uses to which insulating . mater-
ial, can be used, especially for
families lacking a refrigerator or
ice -box. I mean the kind of in-
sulating material that comes in
batts. If you have any odd pieces
around the house, don't throw if
away. If you haven't any, it
might pay you to buy some. Here
is what you do.
Get an empty carton -- the
kind the grocer uses to pack up
your weekly order, Line it with
several layers of newspaper. Now
take pieces from your' insulating
batt, lay them fiat inside brown
paper bags. You will need six
or more of these pads, one for
,eacla side of the box, and one or
two for the top and bottom
the more you use the better the
job. Now you have a homemade.
refrigerator in which you San
put your butter, preferably on a
briek, quart jars of milk, ice-
cream bricks, or anything else
that needs to be kept cold —, and
that has been previously chilled,
otherwise it is useless, While you
axe at it you might as well make
two of these contraptions a
smaller one to take to town 10
take care of that lee -cream
brick you intend bringing home
fox supper and a larger one for
permanent use et home, or for
taking on a picnic, as the insula-
tion is just as good for keeping
things hot as for keeping them
cold, No need to have luke-warm
tea or 'half -melted ice -ream at
your picnic if you have a couple
of these insulated containers
along with you. But don't forget
insulating baits are dirty things
to handle, If you care to take
'the time it would' be far better
to do a good job while you are
at it and use old pieces of cotton
to cover the batting. That way
your pads will last indefinitely.
So now we have the family
looked after, how ?about the dogs?
Short -haired dogs are easily
looked after by ordinary groom-
ing. But a long haired dog . ,
surely nothing could please him
better. than to have some of his
fur- clipped away, Honey. our
little cocker spaniel, is of the
bread that has lots of 'feathers'
around his feet and legs — which
is exactly right for a show dog.
But we consider comfort betfore
looks for Honey, so yesterday 1
went to work with the scissors
and gave her a real brush -cut ap-
pearance. I am sure she is much
happier as a result. Tippy has
to be satisfied with grooming,
which is about all she needs any-
way — except for her bushy tail.
